I claim: 1. A central hub for a golf bag strap system, comprising: a symmetrical central portion having four arms extending radially therefrom for attachment to ends of respective golf bag straps; a D-ring situated at the end of each said arm, providing pivotal connection between said arm and the respective end of said golf bag strap; wherein the pivotal connection of the central hub to said golf bag straps permits rotation of the hub on the back of a golfer when carrying the golf bag, providing continually adjusting balance optimization during use. 2. The central hub of claim 1, wherein: said central hub includes a padded portion. 3. The central hub of claim 2, wherein: said padded portion includes a raised portion. 4. The central hub of claim 3, wherein: said raised portion acts as a center of rotation for movement of said central hub. 5. A strap system for supporting a golf bag, comprising: a plurality of straps, each strap having a first end and a second, said second end being attached to an attachment point on said golf bag; and a central hub having a plurality of arms, each arm having at least one attachment point to which said first end of at least one of said plurality of straps is pivotally connected, said central hub including a padded portion which includes a raised portion. 6. The strap system of claim 5, wherein: said raised portion acts as a center of rotation for movement of said central hub. 7. The strap system of claim 5, in which said plurality of arms are integrally formed as a part of said hub. 8. A strap system for supporting a golf bag, comprising: a plurality of straps including a set of two upper straps each having a padded portion which engages the shoulder region of a user and a set of two lower straps connecting to the golf bag; and a central hub having four symmetrical arms, each said arm having at least one attachment point to which one of said plurality of straps is pivotally connected, wherein said central hub rotates during use in response to forces applied on each of said straps to provide optimized balance of the golf bag as carried on the shoulders of the user. 9. A golf bag having attachment points with strap support system comprising: an enclosure for holding and organizing golf clubs; and a strap system for supporting said golf bag, said strap system including a plurality of straps, each strap having a first end and a second end, said second end being attached to an attachment point on said golf bag; and a central hub having a plurality of arms, each arm having at least one attachment point to which said first end of at least one of said plurality of straps is pivotally connected, wherein said central hub includes a padded portion having a raised portion. 10. The golf bag of claim 9, wherein: said raised portion acts as a center of rotation for movement of said central hub. 11. The golf bag of claim 9, in which said plurality of arms are integrally formed as a part of said hub. 12. The golf bag of claim 9, in which said plurality of straps includes a set of upper straps and a set of lower straps, said upper straps each having a padded portion which engages the shoulder region of a user, and said lower straps which attach between said attachment points of said central hub and said golf bag. 13. A golf bag with strap support system comprising: an enclosure for holding and organizing golf clubs; and a strap system for supporting said golf bag, said strap system including a central hub having four symmetrically arrayed radial arms integrally formed as a part of said hub, each said arm having a pivotal attachment point to which straps are connected, such that said hub pivots during use to provide optimum balance in response to forces applied to said straps.
